10Stars Go Punk At The Met Gala: See The Best And Worst

Anne Hathaway actually blew me away with her punk transformation for the Costume Institute Gala for the “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum (or Met Gala for short). Doesn’t she look great as a blonde? Every year celebs dress to the hilt for the event for whatever the theme is. This year, it’s punk. So keep that in mind when looking at these photos — these looks are supposed to be crazy and over the top.

BEST: Anne Hathaway, January Jones, Sienna Miller

WORST: Almost everyone else, but especially Kerry Washington, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kim Kardashian and honestly there were so many more I couldn’t even deal with.

10Uh, Okay: Jessica Alba Wore a Corset To Lose Weight After Giving Birth

Listen, I know celebrities do crazy shit all the time, but it constantly blows my mindgrapes when they admits to it publicly like it’s totally normal. Case in point: Jessica Alba now says that she wore a corset – yes, that Victorian binding apparatus which caused both physical discomfort and physiological damage – for THREE MONTHS after giving birth in order to lose weight. Technically it was a “double girdle”, but same shit. Earth to Jessica Alba: not only is that not healthy, but it’s also not how weight loss works. Christ almighty.

From Net-A-Porter:

It’s almost time to go, a sofa date beckoning for Alba and Warren but, before I leave, as an expectant mother I have to ask how she got her toned body back so quickly after two births. The secret, it turns out, is a girdle. Two, in fact. “It was brutal; it’s not for everyone,” she qualifies. “I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was sweaty, but worth it.”

Uh… I’m speechless on this one. Can a corset/girdle/whatever hold you in? Hell yeah, I love my Spanx and would wear them daily if I could/wasn’t lazy. But it doesn’t make weight evaporate from your body. She’s admitted to wearing one before in order to keep the skin from sagging after giving birth, so I’m down with that, but she’s also admitted to starving herself and working out like a maniac, so let’s not go there.

You know where I will go, though? To Chipotle for lunch, because I want a burrito.

8Jessica Alba Thought She Was Having a Stroke Last Week

If I think too hard about it, it really bugs me out how we’re all autonomous beings with hearts that work on their own and can sometimes stop working and so many things can go wrong and ahhhh! It’s crazy, this whole being alive thing. Therefore, I totally understand Jessica Alba‘s panic when she woke up last week and thought she was having a stroke.

From The Jimmy Kimmel Show (via DigitalSpy):

“Basically I thought I was having a stroke last week,” Alba recalled. “I really, really thought I was. It was 2.30 in the morning and I woke up and my hand started to go numb. The whole entire thing went numb.

“It was dead, I couldn’t move it. My whole arm went numb, I got cold sensations in the back of my neck to the front. I can’t move my face.

“I texted my paediatrician. It’s my kids’ pediatrician, but it’s the only person who will answer me at 2.30 in the morning.

“I texted him and I said, ‘I have these symptoms… it’s all going downhill!’ He was like, ‘You’re a little young for this’.”

An MRI scan later revealed that she was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition that can cause numbness.

Glad it was nothing serious, of course, but that story totally set off my own anxieties regarding: heart attacks, strokes, amnesia, blood clots, spontaneous combustion… I’ll stop now.

0Jessica Alba Either Had Her Baby, or Uses Old Photos for Brand New Magazine Covers

Here’s a secret: she did not pop that baby out yet, so that leaves the only other alternative – she uses old photos for posterity.

The Jessica Alba-who’s-still-pregnant recently sat for an interview with Lucky magazine, and discussed everything from her body pre-pregnancy, to her body post-pregnancy, to her … uh, body. I guess you have to stick to safe topics when this is what you’re working with, huh?

Jessica on her post-pregnancy secret to looking trim:

“I wear a girdle around my tummy from the moment I give birth until it doesn’t feel loosey goosey anymore—that takes a good two to three months. It’s spandex with Velcro.”

On cutting down calories to lose weight post-baby:

“I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered. But I also work out, so basically I’m starving—it sucks. I drink a lot of water.”

On being considered a sex symbol:

“I’ve never been perceived as anything but a sex symbol, so I don’t even know what that means.”

On how she doesn’t feel the need for maternity clothes:

“I generally don’t wear many maternity clothes…but I am wearing maternity pantyhose, because I can’t fit into the other ones.”

On how much she hates working out:

“Working out everyday for even just 45 minutes is good for my mental state. But getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated.”

Saying the word “boobies”:

“[A Campari calendar photoshoot] got people talking. Besides, it’s not like my boobies were out or my bum was showing.”

There’s more to the interview, but it doesn’t have anything to do with her body, just about how she hustled to get to where she is in this stage of her career, how she didn’t need a man growing up to complete her – and still doesn’t – and that she’s not going to be just a brief flash in the pan. You can check all that stuff out at the Lucky site if you’re really that into it.

2Jessica Alba Puts Most Other Pregnant Women to Shame

Have you seen photos of Jess’s expanding baby bump yet? Because somehow, Jessica Alba even makes pregnancy sexy, and I’m sure there’s a couple of dudes out there who have pregnancy fetishes as it is, who are totally rubbing one out to these photos. I’d normally say ‘I can’t blame them,’ but pregnancy fetishes to me are weird, and the mere idea of an erect penis getting even remotely close to poking the top of a baby’s soft head during sex makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

0I Guess Jessica Alba is Pregnant Again

Are there any of you out there who are, like, rejoicing at this moment? Saying, ‘Oh, man, Jessica Alba is MY FAVORITE ACTRESS EVER, and I’m SO GLAD that she and her AMAZING husband are having ANOTHER equally-amazing child!’ I mean, yeah, it’s nice that Jess A. and her husband who’s yet to be revealed as a cheater (I suppose it’s only a matter of time – he does have a loose affiliation with basketball on a certain level) are going to expand their family. That kind of news is always pretty nice, isn’t it? …

I mean, except when you’re bringing a life into the world with a total fruitbat like Gabriel Aubry, and then you’re apparently in a world of trouble. But even though Jessica Alba is sort of wicked boring, and Cash has got that basketball-curse strike against him just a little bit, I don’t think we’ll have to worry about psychosis and embarrassingly-public child custody battles down the road if these two ever DO split up.  I’ll admit, they seem like they’re in it for the long haul, and on the whole, baby news is super news.

Congratulations to the family on their expansion!
